Coffeebar Bakery - Truckee

The Vegan Mini Chocolate Bundt Cake was a bit crumbly and reminded me of a recipe for crazy cake. The pumpkin donut holes contained eggs but no milk, and they were delightful, even the next day.

After a day of snowshoeing, a friend recommended we stop by the CoffeeBar and Bakery located at 12047 Donner Pass Street in Truckee, conveniently near the entrance to Hwy 80. As a long-time vegan, I initially thought I wouldn't find any vegan pastries. However, I was confident that plant-based milk would be available, as it has become quite common. To my delight, I discovered the most delicious vegan pastries I’ve ever tasted! The coffee and service were also outstanding. Everyone enjoyed both the coffee and pastries, and I was the only vegan in the group. There was a nice selection of vegetarian pastries as well. We're looking forward to stopping by again next week after skiing. I was also excited to learn that my first vegan birthday cake was made here, and it was delicious too. It's great to know this place exists!

This establishment shouldn't be listed on HappyCow since it features a large pastry case but lacks vegan options. It used to offer them, but they've seemingly been removed.

Fantastic and robust coffee with a variety of plant-based milk alternatives. They also offer delicious vegan and gluten-free baked goods.

The vegan mini chocolate Bundt cake was a bit crumbly and had a flavor similar to a classic crazy cake recipe. The pumpkin donut holes do contain eggs but no dairy. They were delightful, even on the second day.
